[solved] Stuck on first boot after fresh installation 4.2

[Shugarie]

Hello everybody,

I'm quite new here and I discovered recently Zentyal. I tried the version 5, but it missed something for me : openchange, so no "exchange service".

So I decided to test the 4.2 version. And I got a real problem with that, after using the offcials cd to install, it boots but then i'm stuck on the screen "installing core packages ... please wait" and nothing happen (already waited more than 24h).

I've already try to follow different "how to", official or no official, tried the version 4, 4.1 too, same thing.

And if I reboot my machine during this screen, it boot normally, but I can't access to the webadmin interface.

Then I tried to install in package mode, version 4, 4.1 and 4.2. Followed clearly the zentyal wiki, and then, I have a problem with zentyal-core installation. It's saying that there is no ebox daemon.

Tried all this on : VMWARE Workstation ans HYPER-V

I can't understand what's goin on ? What I am doing wrong !?

This is what I got in my /var/log/zentyal/zentyal.log

Hello Shugarie,

i had the same problem like you. I tried to install zentyal 4.1 in vbox. The system stuck after installation reboot by zentyal core packages.
I found following solution.
Plugoff the network wire before reboot.
Zentyal tries to connect the network and abort this after 60 seconds. Then the core will install without any troubles. After that you can plug in the network wire and everything run as needed.

Regards

Man, what can I say more than I love you <3 ?

For those who where blocked like me on this. After installation, at the end, unplug (virtually or really) the network then reboot. The machine gonna boot up normally, then plug the network again and, important, lauch an apt-get update before installing the package, if you don't do that, you gonna be stuck again.

Thank you very much Sycoriorz.

Hello,

Package Zentyal-core                          4.2.3 , doesn't work.

But a script : /usr/share/zenbuntu-core/core-install do an apt-get update and install the 4.2.3 version.

So if you unplug network the init script /usr/share/zenbuntu-core/core-install cant' download zentyal-core 4.2.3 and install 4.2.2 wich work fine.

--
Note i think the problem will be solved beacause : zentyal-core_4.2.4_all.deb 10-Feb-2017 01:25 
Come to day, it's seems to be a patch.

Have a nice day.
